this is a longer story, but yes, i'm using a handful of all of the above. some are better than others. (and some proprietary tools, as well)
For that matter, funding from special interests for a dedicated natural language team would probably not be too hard to find if their ROI for input to later analysis was good.
i'm no good at funding, but cursory efforts were not productive. part of my problem is focus on SIGINT/NatSec, when general purpose tools would suffice. no one wants to touch the hot potato unless they're already knee deep in the mash.
I see no problem with running cool projects even exclusively within darknets. Announcements/links will find their way out to clearnet. Those who wish to join or read will do so and be exposed to learning and running some new privacy/crypto tech needed to get to it as a byproduct. It's a win. More people should do it for their related projects. And so long as the darknets can be made to scale, in general.
scaling distribution of tens of gigs of reference materials is a challenge. technically it is working, but usability needs some help... (next dist should be easier to mirror) thanks grarpamp! best regards,
